As the "top stream" in recent years, the new crown pneumonia has been "running" one after another around the world, and it has achieved a level that no one knows about. Nucleic acid testing is well known as an effective screening method for new coronary pneumonia. Most people's perception of nucleic acid testing is probably "take an ID card, stab the throat or nose, and wait for the report". Today, I will show you what happened to your "throat swab" between "poke your throat" and "wait for the report".

The life of nucleic acid throat swab

关于PCR实验室

说起来实验室，之前对普通人来说还是很遥远的。由于新冠肺炎核酸检测业务量激增，各地纷纷建起大型核酸检测基地，为了提高检测效率，实验室也走出了实验大楼，街边、广场甚至都能根据需要随时建起可移动的实验室。

核酸检测气膜实验室
傻傻分不清？

核酸检测基地
主要指核酸检测常规实验室，主要分布于疾控相关部门、医院、第三方检测机构、科研实验室，新冠肺炎爆发后，各地也陆续增设了专用的核酸检测基地。建设周期较长，需要耗费大量人力物力。

Zhejiang Quzhou Nucleic Acid Testing Base

Kunpeng Gene has participated in the preparation of more than 100 nucleic acid detection bases, and the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument Xiaoami has spread all over the place!

Mobile cabin laboratory
Equivalent to a small nucleic acid testing laboratory with complete equipment, it can be maneuvered and operated flexibly, can break through geographical restrictions, respond to various harsh and extreme environments, and provide nucleic acid testing services in a timely manner, greatly improving nucleic acid testing capabilities and responding to sudden outbreaks. Level.

Shengxiang Mobile Cabin Laboratory-Saint Seiya

Air film shelter laboratory
It is assembled from closed tents, which can accommodate hundreds of testing equipment and inspect nearly one million people every day. The air-film square cabin laboratory is easy to install. After simply leveling the site, you can enter the installation, inflation, and debugging processes. If the debugging results are correct, you can put it into the "anti-epidemic" front. The installation can be completed on the same day, and nucleic acid testing can be supported as soon as possible. work in progress.

Adicon's "Blue Whale" air-film cabin mobile laboratory

Up to now, the Kunpeng Gene Fluorescence Quantitative PCR Instrument Little Armies have been employed in many air-film shelter laboratories, including Hua air-film shelter laboratory, Aidikon air-film shelter laboratory, and Dean air-film shelter laboratory. Laboratory, Shuo Shi Air Film Shelter Laboratory, Shengxiang Air Film Shelter Laboratory, etc.

Nucleic acid detection process

Detection process
First, configure PCR amplification reagents, pure manual zero pollution operation
Second, the sample number is checked and accepted, and the code is scanned into the warehouse
Third, shake the sample, the cells on the swab are shed to the sample tube
Fourth, screw the cap, hold the sample gun to aspirate the sample to the extraction plate to avoid contamination
Fifth, the nucleic acid extractor performs nucleic acid extraction, and the extracted nucleic acid template is added to the amplification reaction tube
Sixth, put it into the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument to amplify, it will take about 2 hours
Finally, data analysis and result judgment, result upload
Seemingly simple steps, the whole process takes at least 4 hours.
When the epidemic comes, the testing personnel need to complete the nucleic acid testing process as soon as possible. Facing the huge number of people waiting to be tested, they often have to work around the clock without sleep. As the backbone of the war epidemic, the inspectors silently built a strict "protective net" for epidemic prevention and control. Nucleic acid testing laboratories have been in "close contact" with the virus countless times, and are "battlefields" that ordinary people cannot see.
